"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands." (Psalms 100:1)

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38)

Why
Women Should Not Preach

"Let the women learn in silence with all
subjection. But I suffer not a women to teach nor usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then
Eve. And Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression. Not withstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if
they continue in the faith and charity and holiness with sobriety" (I
Timothy 2:11-15).

Therefore, the Bible illustrates that a woman should not teach
nor preach according to the above scripture.

"This is a true saying, if a man desires the office of a
bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the
husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality,
apt to teach." Verse 4-7 says, " one that ruleth well his own house,
having his children in subjection with all gravity; for if a man knows not how
to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? Not a
novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of
the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without
lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil." (! Timothy 3:1-2)

This scripture plainly demonstrates that a woman can not be a
bishop. The scripture says a bishop must be the husband of one wife.
It did not say the wife of one husband. Also, this scripture states
"he desireth a good work". Therefore, a woman is not a
"he" but a "she".

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not
permitted unto them to speak: but they are commanded under obedience, as also
says the law, and if they will learn, let them ask their husbands at home, for
it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35).

This scripture emphasizes that a woman can not preach.
However, there are times that they can teach. "That they may teach the
young women to be sober, and to love their husbands, to love their children, to
be discreet, chaste keeper at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that
the word of God be not blasphemed (Titus 2:4-5). Women can do many things
in the church, but preaching is not one of them according to the Bible.
Some say that Mary preached the first message in St. Matthew 28th chapter.
The Bible does not validate that. "And the angel answered and said
unto the women fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified. He is not here: for He has risen as He said. Come, see
the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell His disciples
that He has risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth before you into Galilee;
there shall you see him lo, I have told you. (Matthew 28:5-7) Many say
that Mary Magdalene carried the first preached word. Many based their
authority from St. Matthew 28:7, "and go quickly, and tell . . . ",
however, "tell" is not preaching. Mary Magdalene only carried a
message to say "that He has risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth
before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him lo, I have told you"
(Matthew 28:7). Finally, Mary did NOT preach,. She only relayed a
message from Jesus.
